MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUBJECT: Contact Report. Meeting with AMWHIP-1

DATE 21 May 1965, 1300-1430 hours

PLACE : National Airport

PRESENT Subject and DiUbaldo as Breitheim

1, On 20 May I phoned Subject and requested that he travel to
Washington to discuss the background of his discussions with
(UNSNAFU-19 from which stemmed the suggestion that A-l supply a
French-English-Spanish speaking secretary to 19's mission in
Paris. The meeting was quite short for as it turned out, the hodeet
discussion between Subject andQ19 on the topic of secretaries, had’
taken place in March 1965, aged had been little more than a casual
sort of thing devoid of any specifics whatever and, in particular,
devoid of any commitment by either party to proffer or to accepta
profferred body. Nevertheless, Subject felt quite certain that slots
would still be open fh G©319's mission and that a recommendation from
him would suffice to effect favorable action by G19.

2. I sketched AMBUNNY's qualifications stressing the fact that
she had gone to school in the U.S,, had worked here, and had done
a hitch as a social secretary for the(American Ambassador in La Paz. 0
Subject drew the obvious conclusions that it might be difficult to
dummy up AMBUNNY's labenslauf adequately to prevent her from
being “discovered" by the Cubans. At any rate, since ske was our °
only candidate, Subject agreed to meet with her in New York so that
together they could thresh out the pragmatics of the problem. The
meeting was set for 22 May. Al Marin (alias) would participate in this

meeting,

; 3. For the record, I should like to note that in the two and a
half years since I had last seen- Subject he had aged over 15 years,
When I last saw him he was a round-faced, dark-haired, boyish person
and has now been transformed into a very grey, very puffy, 50 year old
man though I understand his chronological age is something short of 40.
These observations ‘kad nothing to do with anything except they might
indicate that Subject is living under a great strain. I derived the
impression, which coincides with that I obtained the first time I met
with Subject, that he is constitutionally oblique in his approach to
matters. He is a very difficult person to corner. Iam firmly
convinced that to date in this operation, if it may be called that, we have

“never come close to placing Subject in the corner and that it is high time
we do so, I do not imply that he is a man of ill will, rather that
instinctively he is a man who slides off problems until such time as he
feels he has sufficient evidence or is in the right posture to solve them.
I should think it would be our task to exploit these natural capacities
while at the same time attempting to assure that Subjects not sliding

away from us.
